He is one of the best guitarists in the world.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Well, that's what they say.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
I mean, I don't know how to gauge that, but
I'm guessing it's it's true.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I've got to be guided.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Well, he might do a couple of solos for you, Kate.
It's in the podcast. Actually he does.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
We don't pretend you don't know. That's exactly what he's

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Three just songs at him that we play here on Nova,
And he just picked them up straight away.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
He's a freak.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
You that in the podcast This is the Fitz and
Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast, we need to talk about
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
Let's feel your man.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Well, let's let's stop. Let let's let's not jump the gun.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
He's just signed a podcast still worth one hundred and
forty million dollars. Brother, So he's got what he wanted
out of the relationship.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Come on, that's with the brother, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yep?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Yeah, okay, So yesterday you may have seen the news
that there was like leaked photographs of a document sitting
on top of a desk, I mean, not being hidden,
not with secret you know, fake names or anything. Well,
basically what the media outlets were saying is this is
(01:54):
a real life photo of a contract that may blow
the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey love story into smithereens
and suggest that the love story that we have followed
and wanted so much to be real was just in
fact a big plan between two PR companies of both
(02:17):
these names kidding there for a year long romance, and
the contract was detailing how it was going to be,
how they would break up and how it would be
dealt with with you know, with Grace.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Do they actually do this stuff?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah, because there isn't there a guy that's come out
who actually wrote a book, who's been He's been behind
some of the biggest controversies and relationships, celebrity relationships.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
This is the guy and the manipulation of the media.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
You mean, yes, he was the one that made to
make Rihanna bigger. He was the one that started the
rumor I think that Rihanna was hooking up with jay
Z while.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
He was married to Beyond.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Say, oh, so that may have just been a room Yeah, well,
and it does work, let's be honest. But I do
think in this situation Travis and I mean especially Taylor. Look,
I don't I don't know. Maybe there are benefits to
her dating an All American football lad, but she doesn't
really need the publicity, does she. But they were you know,
(03:20):
the contract was written by a PR firm called Scope.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
It had they the.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Letterhead details and plans around the breakup. It says things
like the announcement would be alleged, it would allegedly be gracious, respectful,
and stress mutual respect.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
But they wait for the media frenzy to break to
die down.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
And then when Kate like, is there a timeline on.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
This, it would be it's coming. Yeah, it's on its
it would be on its way.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
If they have Okay, this is where we need to
pick it up.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Why would they they name them such high profile celebrity.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Well that's what I thought initially.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
I don't think any paperwork is going to be left
on a desk, and I don't think any paperwork like that.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
It's so tricky. Do you remember, delicate?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Do you remember when two GB's contracts got leaked in
the photocopy here?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Do you remember that's all the people's salaries?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Yes, Jones was onlike a million dollars in five five
free lime suits a year and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
That's right, wasn't Well, they're not going to use They're
not going to say Taylor Swift or Travis Kelcey in
any documents.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I wouldn't think.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
If they'd orchestrated this entire thing. Yeah, well done.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Why it's unbelievable it is you were to put this
together as a stunt, as a marketing stunt. I don't
want to believe that all American hero because you wanted
to build a profile that Taylor Swift was maturing in
a solid relationship, that was she was now prepared to
show to the public, and this was part of development
(04:59):
for Taylor.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Brand wants to go to a Super Bowl game? Do
you reckon? She wants to go and watch with Lively
and everyone. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I think maybe she does and.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Then party to three am and kiss him on the lips.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
If she's not to him, she's an American country girl.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
It's worth a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
But anyway, I'm not saying that that's the truth, and
all Travis Kelcey has come out swinging saying that it's
not true either. So yesterday the update was hang on, guys,
wore up. This could be an AI generated image and
it seems as though there will be legal proceedings in
(05:37):
the future.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
I heard that after married at first sight, quite often
the couples will stay together, almost for publicity reasons.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
You're putting maps in the same sentence as Taylor called.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
The paparazza for you to say, we're down at Bonda
Beats and my bikini's falling off.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
How often have you called the paps and they just don't.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Coup you about the latest filming of Maths three. Three
of the three of the contestants have walked away already.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
But one.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
One guy, the day after his wedding, said not in
and they begged him to stay, and he said, now
I'm done.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Do you remember the band Tattoo?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Remember the band?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Remember the band?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Sorry, you were in a hurry.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
We They were not even lesbian.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Dropping syllables left, right and center.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
They weren't even into each other.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I remember, I remember, remember me.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Remember just quickly.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
You know that guy you were talking about who works
out the media relationships. They call them showmances, not romances,
but like a romance for show What a great I
think you could use that in everyday life. They're not
really into each other. It's a show man I try
and use it in a sentence today.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Well, isn't this special? We absolutely do all this man.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Get started laughing.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
No, he's easily impressed.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Keith.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
You've got to wait until I introduced you his new
album High It's out September twenty. He's brand new song
Loving this one with Laney Wilson as well.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Go Home with You. This is in here and he's going.

also got his High and Alive World Tour, which goes

go to Keith Urban dot com Keith Dern World wo.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
So now you can speak, Ken, I can talk.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
That was a really good here. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
The thing is, once you open your mouth, Keith, we
know exactly who it is because you have such a
recognizable well know for all the good reasons.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Got it?
Speaker 8 (07:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
No, I was going to say, we gave away thank you, Keith.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
We gave away a double to a woman that got
quite emotional on our show the other day. That was
for the intimate show at the Oxford Art Factory. But
then you also did you do another one the Bob
Hawk Beer and Leisure Center at Merrickville.
Speaker 9 (08:03):
That is awesome.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
How do you react when you see so when someone
comes up to you, because it is what you do
and it's your comfortable place. But when someone's standing there
in complete tears because they can't believe they've met you
and they love your music, it's a hard way to react.
It's tough to react to that, isn't it.
Speaker 10 (08:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (08:20):
It means it's beautiful. Of course, it's really powerful, but
I always think it's a power of music. That's what
it is, and I feel that too.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Can you can we talk about intimate performances Keith and
when you first started your career, because I mean, now
you're playing huge arenas, but give us, give us something
like what's some of the most the smallest venues that
you've played and some of the responses that you've got
from crowds when you first started as a musician.
Speaker 9 (08:48):
You mean going back to the beginning kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Yep.
Speaker 9 (08:51):
Begin I played on the baggage carousel at an airport.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
An airline promo, going around and around.
Speaker 9 (09:03):
So my manager at the time it's like, oh, I
got us some free flights and I was like, oh,
that's great. And he goes, oh, well, we've got to
play gig at the airport, but they'll give us the
frights for free, for free. And I went, We've been
a gig at the airport. And he goes, it's a
little regional airport. It's in Tamworth. And I'm like, oh,
they got a little stage then, and he goes, I'm
not sure we'll see what they got. So we get there.
(09:23):
I got a little three piece band, and we meet
the airport manager and he goes, well, let's let's have
a look where you're playing. And you know the little
carpeted area above the baggage careself. They got their little
carpeted strip. That's where you guys are going to play.
So we set up on this little strip. There's nobody
in the airport and I'm like, so, what when do
(09:47):
we start? And the guy goes, start now, take it away.
I went, there's nobody here. He goes, oh, they'll they
will come over once they hear the music. I'm yeah, okay.
We start playing, and then a couple will come over,
and a couple more people and we've got a bit
of a crowd and I was like, actually, it's not
it's not bad. It's looking pretty packed. Next minute and
(10:09):
all the bags come out like their bags have pissed off.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
What does that proved? Nothing is free?
Speaker 11 (10:19):
Free?
Speaker 6 (10:20):
I love that we sit around here a little bit
where an email will go out and they'll say, hey,
there's a new artist from a new artist from a
record label and they're playing in the kitchen. Yeah, And
I think you've got to be so brave to put
yourself out there to do that.
Speaker 9 (10:33):
I did that whole radio to in America that which
is what I called the conference room auditions of Despair,
I e.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Free pizza really.
Speaker 9 (10:42):
So they get everybody into the conference room podcast free pizza.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Is that nerve racking or boring?
Speaker 9 (10:49):
I reckon? That's where all the club the millions of
club gigs comes into play, right, because I'm used to
playing to people that couldn't give a crap. Yeah, perfect training, Yeah,
but is it.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
More nerve wracking than I mean because you played of
thousands and thousands and you know bis stadiums and arenas
and things like that. I mean when you when you
hit the stage these days, is that kind of easier
than the kitchen where people have put a bit of
supreme in their mouth?
Speaker 6 (11:14):
You know, meat lovers like there.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I guess they're very different.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
You can't really compare them, but not only people right
up close as are different there for sure.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Keith. We had James Bay in the studio the other
day and what was interesting we asked in the question,
you know, was there one song you heard when you
were younger or that you thought, oh my god, I
need to be able to do that and it was
layla Eric clapped electric version. Anyway, he'd had the same
conversation where they'd sheer and it was the same song.
Was there a song in your life growing up where
(11:45):
you went, oh my god, how do you get that
sound out of that machine?
Speaker 9 (11:49):
Oh? Probably Sultan's a swing.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Yeah, right, that solo forever because you.
Speaker 9 (11:56):
Got to remember at the time, like nothing sounded like
that on radio, No, all punk and everything. And then
this thing they're also out.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Talk me through just quickly.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
This is just for you and not okay, well maybe
not nobody listening.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
What happens to you, guys, you were firing.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I love it.
Speaker 9 (12:12):
Nobody listening, No, just us.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Messed up as me is a place I know. Well,
this is one of the tracks on the album I'm
out tonight. I'm feeling like I should call you up because.
Speaker 9 (12:22):

Speaker 6 (12:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
The music video was set across two forty five am
to sunrise, and a lot of things happen in those hours.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Not good things, are they?
Speaker 9 (12:33):
Some of them pretty body awesome?
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Depends if you've got a burner fie. We had a
long conversation about burner on the show You One no,
I don't have one. That's Richard Wilkins's phone.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
We always we always joked that Dickie had always had
two blackberries, which was funny because his eyesight's gone and
it's the smallest keyboard in the world, the BlackBerry, Yeah,
the biggest fingers the fit.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
And with with Kate WHICHI podcast.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Do you do a check one to yourself or do
you get someone else to do that? These days?
Speaker 9 (13:07):
Keith, Now I can afford someone to do it for me. Fantastic,
isn't it.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Well, you know you made it when you have someone
go to check one too.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
And I mean that as.
Speaker 9 (16:15):
She seems like the carpet at the R s L.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Your shoes are sort of sticking to it.

I like that sometimes?
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Or does she say, Keith, just put it away. I'm
trying to watch a movie.
Speaker 9 (16:54):
That's a different conversation.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
The jukebox is broken.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
What about a big one on nov This has gone
global as well, Dasher Austin.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yeah, we had married the studio right, this is.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
A massive song. Massive, that's all.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
You did?
Speaker 9 (17:19):
You bootstep working? Did you done the words? Did you
do the money? Did you ext Well, there's a wig
and there's a will and I'm down show your last
Didn't he even say good about just wishin you with cozy?
She sat in with us and played that song in Nashville.
(17:40):
I think you can probably find it on YouTube.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
Ye're right.
Speaker 9 (17:42):
Yeah, yeah. When I said to it, I said, come
and sing Austin with us. And I said, but we
should mash it with something else, you know, to kind
of prove the country connection of the song. And so
I suggested we got married in a fee.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
Wow cash.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
She was way up for us. We mashed those two
songs together.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
That's really fun, Keith.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
The country genre is massive around the world. We know that,
but in Australia we are seeing something. I have never
seen a genre rise so much that it is in
Australia at the moment. Now, You've always known that it
was going to hit the shores at some stage.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
But I cannot believe.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
And I mean, you've got Beyonce doing country albums now,
Post Malone's doing country albums now Yeah.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
Yeah, Lana Dlray's got one coming out soon too that
I've heard a couple tracks off. It's amazing.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
Is that rewarding or frustrating?
Speaker 9 (18:34):
I think it's great. That's great. I mean all this
stuff converges at some point. I would say historically, the
only thing that's changed about country has always evolved, shrunk, expanded,
shrunk expanded. It's always done it right. The only thing
has changed now is that all those pop acts are
coming to Nashville. You're trying to get on a collab
with someone from country, which it's never happened before.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yeah, and it is Nashville a bit like hang on, guys.
We've been doing this for ages.
Speaker 9 (19:02):
It's a funny thing because you you still need the
support of the system in Nashville. Sure, and if you
go about it the right way like Posts did, you'll
see you'll see the love and respect.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I guess respect. Who are the young guns that are
breaking them old?
Speaker 12 (19:18):
You?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Reckon, Keith? Is it your Zach Bryan's We spoke to
Luke Combs the other day. He seems to be breaking
into our market here on Nova, which has been hard
to do for a long time.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
Look, they're just rootsy, authentic storytelling people, you know, and
and they're legit. And that's what Osie is like. Legit,
So Lucas legit, Landy Wilson's legit, Morgan Mullin's legit. Yes,
they're just legit people. And I think I think a
lot of people are just sick of the bs with
a lot of artists. You're like, what's real? What isn't sure?
Speaker 12 (19:49):
You know?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
It's so good to have you back home. Were you
on the Harbor Bridge this week as well? Climb and that?
Speaker 9 (19:54):
Yeah, no painting, it's good, have something. He went for
a bridge. I've done it before. Have you guys done it?
Speaker 5 (20:04):
You have to do it.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
But my band hadn't done it, so I thought I'll
take them all up.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
Gatt, thank you for coming in and playing. That's really special.
It's a really special seat live and so close.
Speaker 3 (20:13):

when she had listened to the show. She said, oh,
and by the way, because she always gives me a
little review, her review. No, she didn't have a bonafhone,
but she said that story that fits said about the bernafolde.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
He obviously made that up.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
No, can I tell you I know who the person is.
And we'd been talking about it the day before, and
then remarkably it made its way to the show that
bernafhone is a legitimate story from fits his life.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Kate knows who the guy is. Yes, made it even
more juicy.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Oh my god, let's have a listen to the call
we got yesterday.
Speaker 11 (21:19):
I had broke my phone and I asked my family
who had a fair phone. My sister in law had said, oh,
I've got a fair phone. I'll let you have this phone.
So you know those old phones that it came up
with a message at first her said I love So
I had to look through and there were messages in
there from maybe up to five different men. When I
(21:40):
got down to another message, it was my current partner, So.
Speaker 12 (21:47):
What I know.
Speaker 11 (21:49):
The time in which she was talking to him, my brother,
her husband was in hospital with cancer. So oh, just
sh needless to say, she is now my ex sister
in law. But I made sure I did that in
front of the whole family, just so everyone understood the situation.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
So your mum and dad were there, Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
I went and got a beronafone yesterday.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
It just sounded like so much fun with all I
mean you just, I mean, I'm surprised you don't have
one fits because you love a bit of gossip and
like all the stuff going on.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Oh, so many elements to that story.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
She's getting better and that's the way she delivered it
so well as well. And we were like, oh my god,
and she's like, wait, wait, it gets better. There's another
layer to.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
This extraordinary I want to know thirteen twenty four to ten,
if a bombshell has been dropped around the family table
where you've got everybody together, you've sat down and you said,
I need to tell you that what was that moment,
because you never know if that's the right environment to
come out with something significant.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
I think sometimes people do it because they feel as
though it's the best way to do it with an
audience for the maximum effect.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
It's not just telling everybody at the one time to
keep it simple.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Oh no, oh no, it's not time management. It is drama,
I think.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I think it's maximum impacts.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
And you know another it doesn't have to be just
the family. I mean, let's put it out there as well. Weddings.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah, Funerals are a great one as well, where secrets
can be brought up in front.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Of the whole family exactly.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Friendship groups especially.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
I think we've even heard a story on this show
where you know that somebody is playing up on somebody
else and you know that the wife is being treated
like a fool. So let's get all the friends together
and say, hey, mate, what have you got to tell
your wife?
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Because we all know and we're going to tell her
if you don't kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
I remember Dad did it in front of we were
young kids at the time, but it was when credit
cards first came in and Mum went on a shopping spray.
Mum went crazy, and I remember Dad calling my sister
and I in and in front of it, Dad goes,
all right, I need to tell you this because these
these credit cards. We've decided to get one because everybody's
(24:06):
getting one. And I remember Dad got out the scissors
in front of everyone, in front of mum and this
is the first and last credit card that the FitzGeralds
ever have, and he.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Cut it up in front of him.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
You're still talking about maximum pass.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
Yes, now he's got five, Dad, save.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
That and they're all maxed down.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
Yeah, they're all maxed out because he's got a gambling problem.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
But that's another story.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
If there was a big announcement around the dinner table,
get involved. Give us called Jess in Rosemeadow.
Speaker 12 (24:32):
Her Yes, Hi, guys, how are you going?
Speaker 6 (24:35):
What was the news?
Speaker 12 (24:36):
Well, it was Christmas. I was probably twelve, and my
parents told my sisters and I had to sit down,
and we were so excited, were thinking we were getting
some amazing present like motorbike or puppy or something. No,
they told me that I wasn't my dad's real daughter
on Christmas Day. To be fair, I think it was
(24:57):
off the back of too many beers. They told me
that I wasn't my dad's your daughter?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
So question how old were you at the time, Jess?
Speaker 12 (25:05):
I was probably twelve.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Christmas Day?
Speaker 12 (25:09):
Christmas Day?
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Christmas does weird things to people?
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Can I ask you, as a twelve year old, how
that hits you? Just like, are you mature enough yet
to understand what's going on?
Speaker 11 (25:21):
No?
Speaker 12 (25:21):
I definitely was like my parents had a very toxic relationship,
so to be honest, I was kind of please. And
also I kind of.
Speaker 11 (25:30):
Think I knew.
Speaker 12 (25:31):
I don't know how, but I think maybe probably in
arguments that had over the years, like I'll tell her,
I'll tell her. So I don't know how I knew,
but it didn't come as a big shock to me.
Where did you met my real dad?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
And okay, where did you come in the sisters? Were
you the eldest.
Speaker 9 (25:47):
Child or I was the eldest?
Speaker 8 (25:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (25:50):
Did you look I still have his surname.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Did you look like your dad, Jess when you first
saw your biological father?
Speaker 12 (25:57):
No, actually, I look like my mom. I was very
much like my this my seconds, like my second sister,
and then my third years.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
To look stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Did you find out the relationship between your biological dad
and your mom like, was it just a short She was.
Speaker 12 (26:13):
Like eighteen when she had me, so yeah, it was
just boyfriend and girlfriend and then yeah, they just went
their separate ways and then she'd met.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
My dad and yeah, what a Christmas surprise.
Speaker 12 (26:24):
And the thing is like, we like it's a kind
of a joke now, and my sister like, you know, timing,
and my mom's like, I did not tell you on Christmas.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Moms always have a very short memory to do with
things like that, don't They.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Be very nervous when Christmas comes around?
Speaker 12 (26:40):
I know.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
I have to say, as the mother, I would imagine
that once the news is out, if you're in a
toxic relationship and you have someone holding something over you
for years, I'm going to tell her. I'm going to
tell her there must have been an element for your mom, Jess,
where as tough as it was, and as awful timing
as it was, that the fact that the news or
that you finally knew, was one less thing for your
(27:04):
dad to hold over her.
Speaker 12 (27:06):
Oh absolutely, it must have been relief. And honestly they
separated not long after that, and yeah, everywhere.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Great story.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Can we give Jess one of these as.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Yeah, absolutely, because she didn't she didn't get one for
Christmas that yet.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
No, it's just it's a great story, Jess, and every
caller today wins a new generation Echo Show five that's
with Alexa and It's all Yours is a perfect device
for the bench.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Wake up to us, Jess, thank you very much for
giving us a call.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (27:42):
This is the Fits and Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Okay, we want to talk about apparently she's a greedy
pregnant woman. Now, I don't want to, you know, be
too critical. She's got a lot going on.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Should be greedy in what way? In the fact that
you are going through something extraordinary and if you need
help or you need something, you probably deserve it. Pregnancy
is the second best excuse.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
What I think you would you know, I thought you
would do. I think you would love being pregnant, you know,
because you're reading for two Funny imagine if it was twins.
I've got two in here and there's one up here.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Sorry, mate, Because if I want to get a set
at a restaurant or something, or I don't want to
go to an event, Okay, to be able to say
I'm pregnant is the ultimate excuse. That's what I'm saying.
Besides death, pregnancy's next.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
I don't think people fall pregnant in order to have
an excuse.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Not we don't know.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
The kid is just a side bonus.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
I do think that having children can become a good excuse. Anyway,
we're talking about this woman because there's a bloke that
she works with, and he has had enough of working
with the pregnant woman because he's trying to be considerate.
Like you said, I'm considerate of the woman. She's going
through a lot, but they work in a hospital. She's
(29:14):
she's just one of his peers and she's still working
although things are a little bit tough. He does say though,
that she's nice but pretty lazy.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
So that's how he starts out.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Now, what's what he is upset about is that everybody
at the workplace has been expected to throw in money
to put on a bit of a baby shower for
So give us a call thirteen twenty four ten if
you are just over over spending money on other people's
(29:47):
kids and gifts, and what do you mean, I've got
to put twenty dollars towards this gift and we're buying
flowers for jan on Friday, it's her birthday.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Can you please transfer ten dollars to my account?
Speaker 12 (29:58):
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Like present?
Speaker 7 (30:00):
All?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Yeah, all of that. Well, that's up to the partner,
isn't it to buy the push present?
Speaker 6 (30:04):
Steve? You're on cupcakes? Am I?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
What was your push present?
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Did you buy a push present?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
You've had three push presents?
Speaker 6 (30:12):
You have three push presents?
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Really, I never got one.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
It annoyed me a bit. They were c section birth too,
So really, you haven't You haven't really done, do you
know what I mean?
Speaker 12 (30:30):
Like?
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Oh no, I'm actually going to save you here, because
that is one of the most peaks tried to do,
piggish things that anyone could ever say.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
It's even worse not buying your wife a push present?
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Got the c section? Did you get a Chanelle or
Coco or well? It was up to her.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
I mean I said to her. Also, the greatest present
possible is a new child. So how do we top
that with a brand?
Speaker 3 (30:54):
You didn't say a new child. It's not like a car.
Speaker 6 (30:58):
This is the latest design.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Oh wow, it was so shiny and new.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
It's a twenty model. This is extraordiary.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Are you done.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
I'm warving up anyway. I didn't get a push present.
I did get anyway, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Anyway. So that he's had to put in the he's
putting all the money in and you know that, like
you said, they've.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
Done the baby shower and then she's come back to
work after the baby shower in the weeks still leading
up to the child, and her expectation now is of
her co workers that she has a.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Like a birth baby birth registry, which I didn't know
you could have on Amazon.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Yeah, has let all of the employees other employees know
that if you'd really like to contribute to the birth
of the baby, I put all of this stuff on Amazon.
And these these are the things now, which are you know,
the necessities for a child to come into the world,
whether that be you know, nappies and all of the
day today stuff. But I'm in my honest opinion is
(32:01):
that a child doesn't need anything.
Speaker 12 (32:05):
But you.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Don't get bogged down in like, don't I didn't have
a flashy pram. Don't get bogged down in all that
stuff because when the baby comes, it's like it's just
it's not important to the needs you that is it on.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Our wedding day, Tom Williams, Tom the Chippy Thomas Napier
stitched me up a beauty. I'm about a week out
from our wedding. He says, Oh, what have you got
Lisa for the wedding day present? What list a wedding
day present? And he said, yeah, the tradition is that
you have something special on the morning of the wedding.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
I said, She's.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
Already got an engagement ring. She's about to get another
ring on the day, which I'm getting one.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Too, And you're about to get married.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Biggest win of.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
All and she won't be having a win that night,
that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
You know what it could be the consolation prize.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
She's snagged, like top dollar, Like congratulations.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Top shelf, top top shelf.
Speaker 6 (33:04):
Man, like for life? You get that.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
That's not for life, not for life. It's never well,
quite often one out of.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Two is not for life.
Speaker 9 (33:13):
Is two out of three statistically.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
I'm going to continue to save you.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
Here.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Let's go to Monica and will and gone, Good morning, Monica,
good morning. Now tell us you're having a baby. Do
you have one of these registries?
Speaker 12 (33:27):
No, I am having a baby shower in a few weeks.
But there's no registry. If you choose to bring something,
you can, but it's just to come and cell braid.
Speaker 11 (33:36):
Us from the baby that's coming.
Speaker 8 (33:37):
So wow, that's But if you would like to get
us something, they know that they can touch baby.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
You're either in or you're not.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
You've got to say, what did you write down on
the invite? Did you say, look, we don't need anything,
or what did you write?
Speaker 8 (33:53):
We left it completely blank?
Speaker 6 (33:55):
Do you know what a test?
Speaker 2 (33:57):
That's a test?
Speaker 6 (33:58):
You know what I've heard is frustrating. You throw a
baby shower and then everybody turns up and you might
have a glass of champagne. Some people get sloshed, but
poor mum, mum to be you can't drink. That's another
bad baby that you see at these parties.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
We just don't have champagne then.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
And I still do the nappy test thing what they
do with the chocolate in the nappy and you taste
it or something.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Isn't that a funny?
Speaker 6 (34:24):
Sorry?
Speaker 9 (34:25):
Mate?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Is this like a little game a baby shower?
Speaker 12 (34:29):
What do they do?
Speaker 2 (34:31):
What isn't it?
Speaker 6 (34:31):
So one nappy's got pooh, one napp he's got chocolate? Crack?
Speaker 4 (34:34):
No, I don't know the actual game. I got told
that there is. It's a funny game. What is this
veggie mind? Or is it feces?
Speaker 7 (34:45):
You know?
Speaker 6 (34:46):
Are you going to the nappy testing game?
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Do you know what this is?
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Anyone know what the nappy testing game is? At a
baby shower, chotel, Am I on the right track?
Speaker 12 (34:56):
Here?
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Where am I going? In the right direction?
Speaker 11 (34:59):
A very post direction.
Speaker 8 (35:00):
I recently went through a baby shower and the game
was there was about eight nappies that had been laid out.
Somebody had went and bought eight different chocolates. We weren't
aware of what they were. They were melted in the microwaves,
smeared in the nappy each and then we all had
to try and work out what chocolate it was. And
it was pretty interesting watching the mum sort of roll
(35:23):
them back and forth and look to find, you know,
if there was nut residue, coconut?
Speaker 6 (35:29):
Oh god?
Speaker 11 (35:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (35:31):
So there was some experienced sums there that knew how
to sort of work a nappy working.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
I was going to say, none of them are like
the chocolate Sunday at the COULDI.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Bay allowed to talk about them?
Speaker 2 (35:47):
So I'm the baby shower experience the chocolate nappy guy.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
Congratulations. Why don't we try that tomorrow on the show top.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
This is the City in with with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 6 (36:01):
Can we talk about this one? Because Kate, I think
you fall into this category.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Here we go.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
Four out of ten people have said that they hate
saying the word sorry, sorry because guys are more famous.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
And hang on, let's go back to the hang on
a second.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Let's go back to the bit where you said that
I fall into that calera saying sorry.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
I say sorry way too much.
Speaker 5 (36:29):
In fact, in a past life when I've had to
do work on myself, I was put on a bit
of a contract where I wasn't allowed.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
To use the word sorry. What do you mean because
I use the word sorry because it didn't mean.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
Because I continually apologize for myself and my choices and
all the things. So I'm always saying.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
You didn't actually mean it. No, I mean more dangerous.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Okay, here we go. So nice to hear on this show. Sometimes.
Speaker 6 (36:58):
Okay, I remember growing up and Mum say to Dad,
why can't you just say sorry? What is it with
the word sorry?
Speaker 2 (37:09):
He'd say that into the mic. You're off mark at the.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
Most, So why can't you just And I've heard it
from my wife, but I get things wrong. You know,
we're not robots, we're humans, do you I believe it
or not. I make mistakes and.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
You had moments, right, you are the mistake.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
Had moments where you know you've stuffed up and you're
pacing around the house because.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
You know you have to say sorry. But it is
just the worst thing in your head going. I can't,
can't believe I can. But you know what it's like
when once you do it, you feel so much better.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
And it's a muscle. You need to exercise that.
Speaker 5 (37:46):
But you need to exercise the muscle to be able
to say it. Doesn't mean I'm a bad person by
saying sorry. In fact, I'm the real winner here because
I'm taking responsibility for my own Wow.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
So are you saying with the sorry? So back in
the day you were one of the best bodybuilders going around.
Speaker 6 (38:03):
Where did you keep your sorry muscle?
Speaker 2 (38:08):
You're on ryds God.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
So ripped and spray and that muscle.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
But they're sorry and then they're sorry, isn't there?
Speaker 3 (38:18):
And I can imagine you're a passive, aggressive sorrier.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
So I will do a lot of like I've said
your saying I'm sorry, sorry, that's how you made you feel.
But then I'll do a lot of sorry. I stuffed up,
all right, I got that rough. I didn't I didn't
read the situation. I'm sorry about that. That was my bad.
We should have gone home six hours earlier. I just
couldn't read the play, Honey, I didn't realize we were
(38:43):
outstanding her welcome.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Well, it's like ray Gun last night went on the
project and she said, I'm really sad to hear about
those criticisms, and I'm very sorry for the backlash that
the community has experienced.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Is that a sorry?
Speaker 6 (38:55):
I think that sorry, that's a legitimate sorry.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Well, she's basically said, if you feel like that, I'm
sorry that you feel like that.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
But I think there is an element that that comes
from a sincere place for her. I don't think when
Whipper says it, it's sincere, it's passive aggressive. I think
when ray Gun says it, she's because.
Speaker 6 (39:14):
You can't see you're sorry, muscle.
Speaker 5 (39:16):
You can't be responsible for other people's feelings. You have
to act in your own way, and you can't. I mean,
if you're intentionally trying to incite a feeling in somebody.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
That's unfair politicians. It is up to you to feel
your own feelings when the politician.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Does, I'm sorry that you feel like that. So it
just rolls me up so much.
Speaker 6 (39:39):
Is there anybody in the studio that wants to say
sorry for something like right now? Put it on the
record that you're okay with saying, well.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
This show has been going for close to fourteen years.
I've been apologizing to everyone for fourteen years.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
The audience, Sorry, we'll be back at six o'clock.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
I'm sorry, that's how made you feel.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
Other radio shows around Sydney announced that they've gotten a
contract extensions.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
We apologize every.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
Time we get on.
Speaker 6 (40:07):
I'm sorry, guys, we're going to be every a bit longer.
